Cilantro is a polarizing herb: you either love it or hate it. But here’s a little science lesson for you: people are genetically predisposed to either love it or think it tastes like soap based on their olfactory receptor genes. If you’re like us (that is, genetically predisposed to love cilantro), then you’ve come to the right place.

Spring has us craving fresh, herbal flavors and cilantro fits the bill. Plus, this herb’s health benefits are no joke. It’s a good source of minerals, (including calcium, iron, and magnesium), and it happens to be one of the richest herbal sources for vitamin K. So grab a handful of this cheery green herb and scroll through above for some of the best recipes containing cilantro!
